Kuldeep may get a chance in the match against Afghanistan, coach hints

Bridgetown (Barbados). Indian cricket team will face Afghanistan on Thursday. The two teams will meet in Bridgetown in the Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav or leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal may get a chance in this match. Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid hinted at this a day before the match. Dravid says that the conditions in West Indies seem to be favorable for the slow bowlers. In this World Cup, India has not yet given a chance to both the spinners in a single match.

India relied on its fast bowlers at the Nassau County Stadium in New York. Because the ‘drop-in’ pitches there had uneven bounce which helped the fast bowlers. Speaking to the media on the eve of the Super Eight match, Rahul Dravid said, ‘It is difficult to keep anyone out. Circumstances were a little different for fast bowlers in New York. We may need to do something different here (in Barbados). UG (Yuzvendra Chahal) or Kuldeep (Yadav) can be used here.

He said, ‘We are lucky that we have all-round players. We had eight batsmen, but we also had seven bowling options. Dravid also said that India will remain flexible in its batting order and will change it according to circumstances. According to Dravid, ‘Every situation is different. This cannot be set in stone. I believe in flexibility. In the match against Pakistan, we sent Akshar (Patel) up. Rishabh (Pant) was moved higher (at number three), much thought was given to it. I don’t think we will have that much flexibility in Test (cricket). In T20 you see more flexibility in batting.

Dravid said that it feels good to come to West Indies for the Super Eight stage. He said, ‘It is good to come to the Caribbean soil and play cricket. Did some practice sessions. We are ready. Afghanistan is a very dangerous team. Their players play more in the league than our players. They are not a team to be taken lightly. They are entitled to Super Eight.
